Storage not required for CoD 4: Modern Warfare

“Storage required?!”

This was probably the battle cry of many a beleaguered gamer when they took notice of the recent “choose your box art” event for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. If one took notice of the bottoms of each of the different pieces of art, they’d notice the inclusion of the “Storage Required” icon, which meant that the game would require a memory card or hard drive space of some sort to be able to play.

Luckily, Robert Bowling, Community Relations Manager at Infinity Ward, managed to set the record straight about requiring storage to play the game. MGC News clarified the issue with Bowling, who had this to say about it:

The Storage Required icon should be disregarded. It was simply included as part of the concept artwork by the artist, to give a better representation of what the final box art would look like with icons and logos on it. The game can still be played by users with and without storage devices (HDD / Memory Card). Obviously you can not save if you are without storage, but that goes for every Xbox 360 title.

There you have it, folks. Crisis averted by way of clarification. If you do feel like saving your game of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare though, make sure you have free space, alright?
